RUTH ELLEN (27 YEARS)

Ruth Ellen, I’m tellin’ You don’t look your age Your beauty’s compelling And worth every page Of the dozens of poems I wrote of you and our love

You remain my muse As you were before we met I just didn’t know back then If I would ever get To be with the woman Who haunted my dreams Faceless, she beckoned Her outstretched arms seemed To invite the poet in.

In the traditional wedding vow The couple agrees to remain together “In sickness and health” Well, we’ve lived that line And we’re coming out fine We’ve remain unbeaten, if weathered.
